from Stenhouse Publishers
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
I love Debbie Diller's focus on kids working in pairs. I used her system for one year and the kids seemed to enjoy it and I thought it went very smoothly. The only thing that I did not like about it was that it is a lot of work and upkeep every week. If you are looking for something with a little... more info

from Basic Books

I had already read Leonard Sax's book "Why Gender Matters". He is easy to read with important information for any parent or teacher of boys. I've been telling everyone I know about the books and hoping this will precipitate some much needed changes in public education.

Price: $11.94

Customer Review:
As a neophyte in the rather intimidating world of theory and critical pedagogy, I am both delighted and impressed by the ability Paulo Freire had to effectively communicate in a manner that was powerful yet unpretentious.

7.Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory SchoolingDumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
from New Society Publishers
Price: $5.86

Customer Review:
I read this book a few years ago and my mind carries with it some of the book's most cogent points. I especially think about the illusion that our schools are really 'communities.' Instead, they actually divide and alienate us. A must read for deep thinkers.
